IN response to Chamisa lawyer Mpofu arrested, GWIZHIKITI says: This coup regime is silly. Instead of addressing pressing issues like the COVID-19 pandemic, jobs, the economy, hunger, starvation at quarantine centres, they are busy giving us sideshows by arresting opposition activists, lawyers, making court rulings that divide the opposition MDC Alliance, taunting Western countries so that they turn everyone’s attention to petty issues. Grow up Zanu PF!

IN response to US, Zim diplomatic row escalates, PIKIRAYI says: Zimbabwe’s hopes of reintegrat­ing with the rest of the world are in smoke, judging by what the superpower­s are saying. All along, since coming into power through a military coup, President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administra­tion has paid thousands of United States dollars to American public relations companies to cleanse the country’s image, but all that is in vain considerin­g how much our country pokes in the face of those it wants to help it. On the one hand, Foreign Affairs minister Sibusiso Moyo is begging global financial powers to save Zimbabwe from sinking, on the other, his colleagues in government are spewing venom towards the supposed rescuers. We are not going anywhere.

IN response to Returnees run riot over poor conditions, MBUDAYA says: It will get worse one way or the other. Actually, this country will soon implode if we continue on the path we are. There seems to be no solution to the COVID-19 quarantine crisis, which is reflective of the overall situation in the whole country. Zimbabwe is hanging by a gossamer thread, and truth be told, President Emmerson Mnangagwa is not the right man to steer it to safety. The tide is high, the wind is blowing, the ground is shaking, we are at the centre of quicksand. We cannot wish to have the late former President Robert Mugabe back, that one is history. We need someone who has a mass appeal like MDC Alliance leader Nelson Chamisa; visionarie­s like Alliance People’s Agenda party leader Nkosana Moyo; firm like Mugabe. We need someone who has most or all those qualities. Zimbabwe is growing old, its people are growing old as well, a generation is being lost and it will take forever to rebuild our nation. But we should not lose hope because of these greedy politician­s who have ruined everything in our country. Who knew that Rwandan President Paul Kagame would help lift his country after years of ruin and 90 days of genocide. Let us rise again Zimbabwean­s.
